Circulation desks are the basic work locations where operators circulate items to patrons, check-in items, hold items to give to patrons, and help patrons by creating requests. Circulation Desks can also function as pick-up locations where patrons can claim their requested items.

The Circulation Desk document includes the Add/Edit Circulation Desk tab. The system automatically enters data into both the Old and New sections in this tab. Selected data fields are available for editing.
